Mega seeks to energise and enrich the debate over how to create a better-functioning economy and society.

Megatrends are the powerful socio-economic, environmental and technological forces that shape our planet. The digitisation of the economy, the rapid expansion of cities and the depletion of the Earth’s natural resources are just some of the structural trends transforming the way countries are governed, companies are run and people live their lives.

The purpose of Mega is to explore these seismic developments – to provide insights into the problems faced by humanity and the innovations that could one day solve them. With articles and videos featuring leading academics, scientists and entrepreneurs active in the fields of sustainability, technology, health, alternative energy, and agriculture, Mega seeks to energise and enrich the debate over how to create a better-functioning economy and society.

Mega is produced in partnership with Pictet Asset Management, a pioneer in megatrend–driven thematic investing and partner to several distinguished research institutions and industry practitioners, some of whom feature on this site.
